Police treating south Belfast abuse as 'racially-motivated'

Police investigations are ongoing into what officers say is ongoing racial abuse directed towards children in south Belfast.

A PSNI spokesperson says a report was received yesterday of anti-social behaviour in the Teutonic Gardens area - of abuse by a group of young people towards a woman and two young children over the last two months.

Police say it's being treated as a racially-motivated hate crime and patrols are being stepped up.
